Four seasons in graduates here. I think now I've moved on I'll spend several years trying to find an equally good championship but ultimately end up where I started. For me it seems to be as good as it gets. Great bunch of people, great cars, good parity, healthy grids, great driving standards, minimum chequebook action... A great format to the weekend, races on Saturday and Sunday, excellent calendars with the amazing annual overseas round...

I can scarcely believe somebody like me can have four races at Spa Francorchamps and two at Zandvoort in four seasons, and I'm equally grateful to have raced at pretty much all of the wealth of great circuits we have on our little island (plus Anglesey)

All that and I was able to do it all on such a low budget.

One of the reasons I have decided to join was after listening to your views on what the Graduates is like. Hopefully I experience the same smile

Following getting the car back home, I decided to start by stripping off the stickers on the car and then give the car a good clean and polish. It is already looking much better but I can now see the full extend of the damage to various places on the car.

Hi All,

I've been a bit slow updating this. The car has now been repaired, resprayed and rebuilt. I'm just putting the final touches on the car and it will be complete.

I'll update with some pictures!

Yes planning to be at one or two events this year.

I've only driven the car twice. Once after buying it and the second time was a track day at Brands! Really enjoying the car!
